This nearly life-size piece incorporate an image of a female body with three-dimensional undergarments dangling from clothes hangers in front of the canvas ground. The shadow behind the bra is made of unprocessed photosensitive linen, which gradually darkens whenever it is exposed to light—a clever play on the relationship between representation and reproduction. In addition, the outline of a bikini has been added to the figure with pastel chalk, acrylic paint, and colored pencil. Always fond of wordplay, Heinecken commented: “The title, Lingerie for a Feminist Suntan, doesn’t tell the viewer what the piece is about, but the language used is within the grasp of most people and does suggest a mild political stance which is inherent in the work. In fact the obliqueness of titles and levels of content are sometimes as important to me as the illusionary qualities of the piece.”
